Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the record of Andrew Dunn, a pensioner of Pennsylvania from March 24, 1826.
The data which follow are found in pension claim, S. 43519, based upon service of Andrew Dunn in the Revolutionary War. He was the pensioner cited by you.
Andrew Dunn enlisted early in 1777, in Virginia, served as a private in Captain George Rice's company, Colonel Christian Febiger's 11th Virginia regiment, was transferred and served in Captain Simon Morgan's company, Colonel John Gibson's 13th Virginia regiment, was in the battles of Brandywine, Germantown and Monmouth, and in a skirmish at "the White house", and was discharged at Pittsburgh, having served three years.
Andrew Dunn was allowed pension on his application executed April 8, 1824, at which time he resided in Butler County, Pennsylvania. The soldier gave his age then as seventy-six years, but did not state the date and place of his birth, nor the names of his parents. He stated that he had no family living with him at that time; he referred to his brother, but did not designate his name.
Andrew Dunn died February 9, 1834.
In 1824, John Dunn, John Dunn, Jr., and Robert Dunn, of Butler County, Pennsylvania, made affidavits in behalf of the soldier's claim for pension; no relationship between them and the soldier, Andrew Dunn, was stated.
In order to obtain the name of the person to whom the last

payment of pension was made, you should address the Comptroller General, General Accounting Office, Records Division, this city, and furnish the following:
